Maiden Voyage
For a while, we knew that the Disney Believe would be setting sail at some point in late 2027. Now, we know that the maiden voyage date is December 18th, 2027. There will be 4- and 5-night cruises out of Port Everglades, and it will sail to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We’ll be counting down the days to when the ship finally sets sail. We know a lot of Disney fans are going to want to be on that first cruise, but when does booking open?
